It is a necessary and accepted procedure in all aspects of veterinary medicine and many aspects of scientific procedures involving animals.  \nIf an animal has to be killed, death must occur with the least fear, anxiety, pain and distress. The method used for euthanasia must either kill the animal very rapidly or  \ninstantaneously render the animal unconscious so that death ensues before consciousness is regained. The application of any method must be such as to minimise the impact of any procedure on the welfare of the animal. Consequently, consideration also must be given to how the animal is handled immediately prior to and during euthanasia. Ultimately, for the method to be effective, reliable and humane, the technical competence of the persons involved in all aspects is paramount.  \nEuthanasia is one of the most commonly performed procedures involving animals used for scientific purposes. Animals need to be killed for various reasons, including the collection of blood and tissues","cbCaioKAjDD7aUKV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioKAjDD7aUKV","pdf",1845624,136,"English","# Preface\n## Introduction\n## Minimisation of pain, distress, fear and anxiety\n## Methods of euthanasia\n## Signs of death\n## Disposal of carcases\n# Section 2 Scientific Considerations — Influence of methods of euthanasia on scientific data\n## Direct effects of euthanasia techniques on sample analysis\n## Choosing a method\n# Species chapters\n## Rats and mice\n## Guinea pigs\n## Rabbits\n## Dogs and cats\n## Horses\n## Cattle\n## Sheep and goats\n## Pigs\n## Non-human primates\n## Australian mammals\n## Birds\n## Reptiles\n## Amphibians\n## Fish\n## Invertebrates\n# Anaesthetic drugs—generic names, trade names and manufacturers\n# Bibliography\n# Further reading","[{\"question\":\"What is euthanasia in this publication and what principle guides method selection?\",\"answer\":\"Euthanasia is defined as inducing a painless death.
